Shiguangdao: A Timeless Design by Shanhejinyuan

Designing Memories and Immersion in the Museum of Time

Inspired by British astrophysicist Stephen William Hokin's thoughts on space-time, Shanhejinyuan's Shiguangdao design takes us on a journey through time and imagination. Located in the historic Hunnan District of Shenyang, this project seamlessly blends the past and present, creating a connection to open the time tunnel.

Shiguangdao stands as a window to the past, preserving the urban texture and regional culture of historical relics in the midst of a high-tech development zone. It is a soon-to-be-blurred memory that carries the feelings and values of people, becoming a vessel to store memories and travel into the unknown.

The design of Shiguangdao is characterized by its unique properties and strengths. Through the use of the "Light of Life" material, a metal that symbolizes the essence of time, the project embodies the intersection of industry, art, humanities, and immersion. Its dimensions, measuring 3700 mm in length and 8500 mm in width, create a spatial experience that is both captivating and thought-provoking.

Shiguangdao's interaction with visitors is a testament to its innovative design. The combination of different materials and feelings, presented through a regular matrix sorting, creates a sense of technology and artistic sensibility. The lighting effects further enhance the experience, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the spatial matrix and explore the beauty and spatial tension of science and technology.

The realization of Shiguangdao was a result of meticulous research and creative problem-solving. The project required the development and production of innovative products, as well as the utilization of optical illusion effects in the space. Through a refined production process, Shanhejinyuan successfully brought their vision to life, creating a series of sub-productions that contribute to the overall narrative of the space.

The Shiguangdao project began in Shenyang in May 2021 and was completed in September 2021. Throughout the duration of the project, the team conducted extensive research, particularly in sales buildings, to ensure that the design resonated with people and expanded their understanding of the space.

Shiguangdao has received recognition for its exceptional design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2022. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the project's well-designed, practical, and innovative nature, meeting professional and industrial requirements while contributing to a better world.

Shiguangdao is a testament to the power of design to transcend time and create immersive experiences. Through its blend of art, technology, and storytelling, Shanhejinyuan has crafted a space that invites visitors to explore the depths of their imagination and connect with the essence of time.
